Butternut squash

What is Butternut squash?

Butternut squash — tan-skinned winter squash with dense, sweet orange flesh and a small seed cavity in the bulb end. Sold whole or as peeled/cubed packs.

Roasted and pureed for soup, cubed into autumn risotto and pasta, ravioli filling in Italian kitchens, roasted sides on farm-to-table menus; sweetness pairs with sage, brown butter, and chili.

Per case or per pound?

Produce is sold by the case, with a per-pound rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.

Whole squash holds for weeks in dry storage — buy whole for shelf life, or peeled/cubed packs to save heavy prep labor; look for a matte, hard skin with no soft spots.
